    Default Friends/Family/Girlfriend

    Do they support you in your hobby/passion of modifying cars? Seriously? Do you get ridiculed by them whenever you mention someting about it?

    Well its not that bad yet, but it just really irks me sometimes , that usually most folks dont understand it. I mean, do I spend a little to much on the car sometimes? Yes, Ill admit to that. Do I maybe make purchases for the car when I shouldnt? Yes, Ill admit to that. Do I put my passion first in my life and above the people I love? No, but sometimes Im sure they think that. Damn, just really frustrated right now.

    My girlfriend doesnt care she thinks its cool. For christmas shes actually paying to have some more dyno time at Batlground. Dont ask how I know! Let's keep it on the DL.

    My mom doesnt really care either way, she's always supportive of everything I do.

    i look at it like this, if its my money and my car and my hobby then let me do it because it is what i enjoy doing most and my gurl gives me hell sometimes but i dont let it bother me she will just have to get over it and my mom cracks me up because she talks about my carbon fiber hood being ugly and im like mom thats how its suppose to look she cracks me up my dad however loves my car and said he wishes that they had cars like this back when he was a kid because he said he admires what i do to my ride just because it keeps me out of trouble and i have a love for it which is a big motivator so i dont let anyone tell me how to tell me how to spend my money or any crap like that cause i dont tell them how to spend theirs

    yeah, all my friends are into cars

    my family, although some of them might no understand why i chose an import (one side is all domestic boys, i'm the lone import) they always support me in it

    my girlfriend: the best part and most supportive of all. She is always helping me look for things for me car, or hers and she is a true car girl too. she has the bug too, i mean what more could i ask for

    My parents think I'm crazy.
    My friends think my car is cool.
    My boyfriend's car is faster than mine now, haha.

    We have an odd sort of rivalry (STI and Evo) but it works somehow. So long as we don't talk cars after 9pm.
